I think it's called keeping a dog and barking yourself.

Sutton Council need to take responsibility for the tree's that they already have in the borough!! We have tree's growing through our fence, over hanging so badly the branches reach over our garden and into the garden next door and they are so tall it blocks the light when the sun moves around to the back garden. The garden is constantly covered in bird mess throughout the year and leaves in the autumn/winter months. Whilst we are able to reach the lower branches we are not able to reach up to trim the higher one's and after numerous emails etc to the council and to Mr Brake re the tree's the council will do nothing to trim, thin or crown the tree's. The answer we had was " As the tree's are healthy we have a policy of not cutting back" my neighbours have also complained, they have lived there nearly 30 years and in that time the council have not touched the tree's.
